Sacraments

BAPTISM You might ask, "Why do we have to come to a class just to have our baby baptized?" You attend childbirth classes before your baby is born. It seems only fitting that you attend a Baptism class before your child is born into the new life of Christ. We hope to encourage you, as parents to re-examine the meaning of your own faith. By offering this class, the parish is showing its love for you and its eagerness to support you as parents, as well as your children.

Baptism Preparation Class: is held on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm, in the Parish Meeting Room. Pre-registration is necessary. Forms are available at the Parish Office. Baptisms are celebrated during Mass or after 10:45 am on Sunday.
